Getting started
Canvex documentation
Describe a business idea once and get it back as a set of strategy canvases that agree with each other.
Canvex turns a description of a business into strategy canvases — Business Model, Lean, SWOT, Value Proposition and twelve more — written by an AI model of your choice. Every canvas is editable in place, and every canvas you add to an idea is generated with the ones you already have, so they use the same names, segments and figures.
